The Battle Creek Public Schools board unanimously voted Monday to postpone the evaluation of Superintendent Linda Hicks until July 20.

The vote marked the second time this month the board had voted to postpone her 2014-15 performance review.

The review was on the agenda for Monday night's meeting.

After going into and coming out of closed session, Trustee Art McClenney made a motion to postpone the item, which was then approved by the board.

"It is a mutual agreement for both parties," McClenney said.

At the June 15 board meeting, McClenney asked for the evaluation to be postponed to Monday's meeting because he wanted a chance to review materials. Five of seven board members voted in favor of the motion, with bnoard members Scott Cubberly and Catherine LaValley casting the dissenting votes.

At Monday's meeting, Hicks told the Enquirer the evaluation was postponed a second time because they believed it would be advantageous to have more time. Last year, her evaluation was not completed until September, she said.

"The agreement was for more reasons than just one," Hicks said of the delay. "...We just decided we needed more time for the process itself, including the data needed and all those sorts of things."

In other business, the board approved naming the gymnasium floor at Northwestern Middle School "Al Leibert Court."

Local activist Bobby Holley campaigned to have the gym floor named after the long-time coach and former educator.

Leibert, 89, began teaching physical education at Northwestern when it opened in 1959 and coached there until 1967. His coaching career in the city of Battle Creek spans nearly 60 years; right now, he's an assistant football coach at Battle Creek Central High School.

In 2005, Leibert was inducted into the Michigan High School Football Coaches Association Hall of Fame.
